Being my first time to Europe yet alone Netherlands, it was an ideal starting point for my holiday. Staying in a female hostel was awesome. The atmosphere was relaxed and was great place to meet other female travellers. The staff were very helpful. I can not speak dutch but their English was very good. They were all very assisting. Even the cleaning staff were really nice and did a great job. The facility is well laid out and very welcoming. I should definitely recommend this hostel to all females. It is safe, staff are approachable and value for money.

Really most of things about this place is great: it's superclose to the center (aprox 5 tram stops) near to Melkweg and Sugar Factory, clean, nice party atmosphere, linen and towels are included as well as breakfast (starts from 7:30). Reception was nice at every time of the day, gave directions, borrowed me a charger for my phone, I could use the safe deposit to leave my camera for the time of party. I loved happy hours at the hostel's bar (prices are really low). I would say - the best choice in the city ;)

L'ostello è situato in una buona posizione. La struttura è carina ed è tenuta molto bene. Il rapporto qualità prezzo è buono. Il personale gentile. Unica nota negativa, l'assenza Di prese elettriche vicino a tutti i letti, o dentro gli armadietti. /
The hostel is located in a good area. The structure is nice and is kept very well. The value for money is good. They have kind staff. Only negative note, the absence of electrical sockets near all the beds, or inside the lockers.

There is always somebody to help you at the reception desk, people there are really kind. The card system to access all areas of the hostel is pretty cool, it made me feel safe. Wifi works pretty much well, even in the rooms. There are lockers in the rooms and in the lounge. Breakfast is really complete. It is really quite in the rooms, the neighborhood is really silent close to the park. The environment is well organized.

Great location, very safe with all the numerous key-swiping requirements, big lockers, clean and warm showers. Close to everything you may want to see or do in Amsterdam. Very helpful and well-informed staff. Very nice breakfast.

The hostel is located to the east of the city centre in a quiet, typical Amsterdam neighbourhood. Amsterdam’s historic centre is less than 15 minutes away by bike or tram. Stayokay Amsterdam Oost has its own café-restaurant and shares the premises with a number of interesting neighbours, which means that there’s always plenty to do, if you stay here.

The hostel is directly on the tram line, 15 mins straight into Dam square and the centre of Amsterdam. The staff are very knowledgeable and helpful. The rooms are typical dorm bunks, but big wnough for me at 6'3 which is rare. The facilities on site are extensive and there is a cinema, bars and coffee shops within 5 minutes walk. Fantastic value for money and if I go back to Dam, then I would rebook here.

The hostel was so close to absolutely everything. It is a two minute walk to Dam Square and about 5 minute walk to the Red Light District. We were able to walk everywhere during our stay at the hostel, we did not use public transport once during the stay. The hostel itself is also very good in terms of their facilities. In the bedrooms we were provided with a fan, a hairdryer and hair straighteners. The rooms are extremely spacious so you don't feel cramped with people you don't know. They also offer 25% off food and drink for the duration of the stay. The bar is lovely and the staff are very friendly. They also have a lot of free vouchers at reception offering discounts on different things to do around Amsterdam.

This hostel is a great place to stay to visit Amsterdam ! Rooms are clean and the breakfast is great. One guy of the team should be more careful about the information and the tips he gives to the tourists since because of him we couldn’t rent bikes. Apart from that people are nice and we had a nice stay

I really loved it. The hostel was very clean, and the facilities, in general, are good to share with other people.
You can find the subway walking distance 2-3 minutes and there is also a train station, what allows us to move to other places. Take in consideration that linen, breakfast and other amenities are not included in the price.

We have a good time in Amsterdam
It is close to metro station but consider that is not in the city center. For us, this was a good point

There is a tram stop at 50 m from the property and it offers links to different sites of the city. Rembrandtplein is 1.2 km away and Red Light District is within a short walking distance.
The hostel is 1.5 km from Amsterdam Central Station, 1.4 km from Dam Square and 2 km from Leidseplein.
Van Gogh Museum is 2.5km away.
Amsterdam City Centre is great for travellers interested in architecture, city trips and walking.
Lots of choices of bars,restaurants and nightlife/clubs all around our hostel.

We are located right next to the transport hub at Sloterdjik which means you are perfectly situated to explore this diverse and colorful city. It is only 5 minutes via the urban railway to Central Station and just 10 minutes to Schiphol Airport. Westerpark is a short walk and you can also get to Strand West in no time to play beach volleyball! For those who want a more relaxing time, why not take a trip to the flower market or chill out in a local coffee shop?

It was really nice! If you love meeting people and having fun like me, this is the place to go!! And the people who work there are really nice !! The only bad thing you can have there will certainly be because of other customers ! Yes of course we don’t know who we’ll find when we’re traveling! The hotel itself is really nice for this low prices

I'm not sure why this hostel has a low rating on this website. I've seen some reviews with falsehoods, like that the hostel has no common area or kitchen. It has both and both are very nice. I was treated exceptionally well, the owner checked on me more than any other chain hostel would to make sure I was accommodated. I came in from a 12 hour bus ride and was quite ragged and the owner got me into a bed 2 hours before check in... Without me even asking. All of the staff here are exceptionally nice, including the cleaner who was very funny. I enjoyed being away from the noisy streets but it's still so close to Dam square (only a 5-10 minute tram). This location should not be overlooked because of its rating on this site. It's a very clean and cleanly run establishment by family men.

This hostel was absolutely amazing!! It felt like a five star hostel. It was been recently remodeled and the pictures are not yet posted online so we went in the hostel a little hesitant and it was an amazing surprise to see such nice hostels. The showers were amazing. There is also a full kitchen and fridge for travelers to use for free. The hostel is incredibly nice and even better considering the price. By far the nicest Hostel I have ever stayed at. Besides the great stay, the best part is the owner of the hostel, he is so welcoming and friendly. He was up cleaning at 7am and was still organizing and building when we came back later at night around 2am. He is the best.
He will take care of you! Trust me.. This place rocks. I wish I never had to leave.

The second MEININGER Hotel in Amsterdam is part of the city’s highest residential building and is situated directly opposite Amstel railway station. From here, it’s only a few minutes’ train ride into the city center. What’s more, the Amstel river runs through the neighborhood on its way to the sea.
